We went in and got a 12-week sonogram done today. It was for a test called 'Nuchal Translucency.' The NT test measures the clear (translucent) space in the tissue at the back of the developing baby's neck. Babies with abnormalities tend to accumulate more fluid at the back of their neck during the first trimester, causing this clear space to be larger than average.
Anyway, our little muffin's clear space was VERY small. He/She is already a mover and a shaker, waving at us and flipping all around making the sonographers job very difficult. She/He also got the hiccups during the scan. Isn't that crazy? 12 weeks and this kid's got the hiccups?!?
Anyway, here are the two sonogram pics we got to bring home... he/she is still all head and belly, but was saw hands, legs, feet, and a nice spine too!
